			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>One of the greatest problems the world is facing today is the problem of addiction. It is “the” dilemma that seems to have no end. People use drugs, abuse it, then they become depended to it. They hurt their loved ones and they hurt their selves. Their lives crave for the drug and become tangled to looking for means of attaining the drugs. Later on, the person then realizes that life has become worthless and meaningless and that he wants to change. He wants to turn away from drugs but the problem is that he couldn’t easily turn away and say good bye to his long time influential friend- the drug.</p>
<p><span id="more-202"></span>
<p>Then, he seeks for help from hi loved ones. He looks for the aid of an expert to intoxicate him from the drug. Rehabilitation centers offer help to those who have substance use problems. They provide medical help as well as psychological and social aid. However, rehabilitation may not be enough for the full recovery of the person. The patient should be equipped with the right values and skills in facing the real world after rehabilitation.</p>
<p>Different groups that caters to different kinds of people that needs help offers  spiritual enhancement and life skills program to people who wish to receive them. Anybody who is determined to modify and turn away from such addictions or someone who merely wants to help victims recover form the darkness they were in is very welcome to join the fellowship. Here, people help each other in recovering from their problems. The fellowship believes that the best people who could understand addicts are those who have been addicts themselves. Empathy is not enough. Someone who has experienced the dark side of drug would really understand the feeling of an addict and thus, would be able to give the right comfort and support.</p>
<p>Moreover, the fellowship uses the twelve-step program in helping the patients recover. This twelve-step program was first made by the alcoholics anonymous. It consists of twelve steps on how to deal with the addiction, emphasizing acceptance, surrender, and self-awareness. The twelve step program tries to impart that there is one very powerful being above us all, and that we should lay down all our weaknesses to Him and al will be well. Of course, man should do his best to become a better person and God will then do the rest.</p>
<p>Here is an example of the famous twelve-step program from Overeaters Anonymous:</p>
<p>1. We admitted we were powerless over our emotions — that our lives had become unmanageable.</p>
<p>2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.</p>
<p>3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.</p>
<p>4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.</p>
<p>5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.</p>
<p>6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.</p>
<p>7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.</p>
<p>8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.</p>
<p>9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.</p>
<p>10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.</p>
<p>11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.</p>
<p>12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message and to practice these principles in all our affairs.</p>
<p>With the twelve-step program, individuals who have become victims of addiction are given optimism that it is not too late &#8211; that life does not end in addiction. In fact, it even opens a new door, a new episode in our lives in which we should live meaningfully.</p>
